Dating advice after being in the closet

For someone who has been in the closet for a long time, it can be challenging to open up and share with others. Experiment with being more open and pushing the boundaries when going on dates. Treat it as a fun and exciting time for yourself. If the other person is into your authentic self, great. If not, it's better to know early on. Be your most extreme self in these situations and see where it takes you.
